Welcome to Ledger.com/Start

🚀 Getting Started with Ledger

The Ledger hardware wallet is one of the safest ways to store your crypto assets offline. By visiting Ledger.com/start, you can begin your journey to secure, self-custodied digital ownership. This page will walk you through:

• ✅ Initial setup & device connection
• 🔐 Creating your recovery phrase safely
• 🌐 Installing Ledger Live on your computer or smartphone
• 🧠 Understanding critical security tips to protect your funds

🛠️ Step 1: Unbox & Connect Your Device

Inside your Ledger package, you should find the device, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and quick start instructions. Connect your Ledger via USB (or Bluetooth for Nano X) to your computer. Ensure you are on the official Ledger website — never install software from unknown sources.

Your Ledger device will display a welcome screen. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your preferred language and start the initialization process.

🧾 Step 2: Choose a PIN Code

Selecting a secure PIN code is your first line of defense. Use a 4–8 digit code and never share it with anyone. Write it down securely and keep it separate from your recovery sheet.

⚠️ Important: If anyone ever asks for your PIN online, it's a scam. Ledger support will never request your PIN.

📝 Step 3: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to all your crypto accounts. This phrase allows you to restore your wallet if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Carefully write each word on the provided recovery sheet in the correct order.

🔥 Critical: Never take a photo of your recovery phrase, never store it online, and never enter it into a computer or phone. Anyone who has access to this phrase can take your funds.

💻 Step 4: Install Ledger Live

Visit the official website: https://www.ledger.com/start and download Ledger Live. This is the companion app that allows you to:

• 📈 Manage multiple crypto assets in one interface
• 🔄 Install apps on your device (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
• 💸 Send and receive transactions securely

Once installed, open Ledger Live and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your device. The app will verify authenticity and guide you through firmware updates if necessary.

🛡️ Step 5: Secure & Verify

After setup, go to the “Manager” tab in Ledger Live to install the relevant coin apps. Always ensure:

• You see “Genuine Check Passed” inside the app.
• Your device shows the same addresses as Ledger Live.
• You are connected to the official domain: ledger.com.

💡 Pro Security Tips

Beyond the standard setup, consider these extra steps to maximize security:

• 🌐 Bookmark ledger.com to avoid phishing sites.
• 📵 Keep your recovery phrase offline & never share it — not even with support.
• 🔄 Regularly update your Ledger Live app and firmware.
• 🧠 Educate yourself about common crypto scams and phishing tactics.
